Hell, or rather my brief experience of it.

[Drich]

Out side of that i do not know why.

I am not disputeing the fact that it was a dream. What I am going to add is this dream was no different than any other truly experienced memory. Other than the fact that at the end of this squence of events I arose from my bed. These events played out like every other experienced memory i have ever had.

Again no dispute that it was a dream, as I woke from my bed. But, at the same time I have NEVER had a dream like this before or since.

There is no heaven or hell, only oblivion for everyone, you twit.

I once dreamed that I floated away from the Earth and could travel at will through space. I visited the colony of robot frogs living in the oceans of Mars and, after impregnating their Queen, got myself proclaimed Lord High Banana with dominion over the whole Solar System. When I woke up, I wasn't on Mars anymore. Never did find out why. Perhaps someone here can shed some light onto this mystery, not to mention why none of the Mars rovers ever found those frogs.

Because of the fleeting second where i got to feel the love and completeness of being apart of the creation community i was designed to be apart of. To feel the whole complete Love of God. Or rather what it would have been like if i had been deemed a good and faithful servant. uphoria does not even come close to describe the completness God offers. In short I want to be able to go home, at the end of all of this. I can not even imagine having to live in all consuming torment when I knew what boundless love would be like.

Do you believe in god because it makes you feel special?

Drich, don't show your future employers this thread, ok?

I once dreamed that a gorilla was in my closet and, while I just watched it, he came out and proceeded to exit the bedroom.... I was scared shitless and couldn't move. Don't know what happened next, but I do remember it as one of my most vivid memories from when I was under the age of 5, so I guess it felt even more real than reality.
Does that make it true?
Does that mean I had a gorilla in my closet?
Does that mean that closets have gorillas?

Afterwards, I saw it as only a dream and it has remained so until this day, and probably will remain until my demise.

You just had a dream, fueled by your asking and stuff like that.
Again, the human mind is a wonderful thing. And the human imagination is still the only unlimited force that I'm aware of.

Once I had a dream where a green face appear to me. It scared me awake and kept sleep from me for a night or two. I've never felt anything so real. Now, does the green face really exist? No.

Two words: Sleep Paralysis.

Look it up.

I suffer from the recurrent version, usually when my body is under duress (too much work, not enough sleep, too much stress, etc.)

My first experience I was 9 years old, my brother had been shot int he eye with a BB gun. My mother, a normally strong lady, was nearly hysterical. The docs said my little bro had a very small chance of keeping his sight. Being a very devout little Catholic girl, I prayed my bottom off that night. I couldn't sleep, I was so upset, I just lay in bed and prayed. I prayed

Then God took my soul out through my toes. Well, that's what my impressionable 9 year old mind thought. I flew around the house, thought I was dead, that God had traded my life for my brothers soul.

When I woke up in the morning, I was very happy to be alive. It took me some time, but eventually I told my mom about this whole experience. She then told me about sleep paralysis and how it runs in our family (especially in the women).

Imagine, I might have gone my whole life thinking I was having regular religious experiences, just like the superstitious people of the past must have. Not their fault, they didn't have neuroscience after all. Yet there is a perfectly rational scientific explanation.

I'm so glad I live in the information age.
